If the confrontational posture of the title to this blog has you reading this opening sentence, then it can lay claim to having performed its job.

Where’s there a recession - there’s also a rise in online crime. Not only do merchants have to be wary, but also consume...

The first principle you learn as a Product Manager is a simple one: how to say no. Steve Jobs famously said “I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things we have done.

The US will have more than 86 million gig workers by 2027, and 50% of online spending will take place on marketplaces by 2030. In Europe, 28 million workers are active on gig-platforms and this is expected to double by 2030. The rise of gig-economy marketplaces has led to an increase in competition in the space.

The banking industry is undergoing a material shift in how businesses and consumers bank with an explosion of new alternative offerings.
